“What
do you feel? Anything strange?”

She flung
her hands up in the air as she answered me. “Yes, I feel something
strange! This whole thing is
strange!”

Placing
my finger on her lips, I shook my head in frustration. “Skye, what do you feel here?” I asked again,
pointing to her chest. “How do you
feel?”

She
stood for a moment with her lips lightly pressed to my finger, slowly closing
and reopening her eyes. There was a
sheen to them that spoke of unshed tears, and as she raised her hand to pull
mine away from her mouth, I saw her fingers tremble when she whispered, “I can’t deal with this,
Xander.”

“Yes,
Skye - you can and you will,” I warned her.
“This is going to happen whether you want it to or not. I told you that I’m safe, and I…”

Skye
broke into hysterical laughter at that.
“Safe? You’re telling me that a
legion of demons is after me and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. How in your book does that equal safe?”

“You
don’t know me, Skye, and you don’t know Rioden and… what we can do. I told you that I
would protect you, and I will.”

Shaking
her head, she took a small step back and admitted, “You’re right about one
thing, Xander,” as she wiped a tear from her face. “I don’t
know you, so how can I trust you? No
matter how you make me feel. Please just
leave me alone.” She spun on her heel
and sprinted away, leaving me to stare after her.
